MIDIAN Reforms With New Lineup

October 19, 2010

After a 20-year absence, '80s New Jersey thrash band MIDIAN has reformed with a new lineup. Sole remaining original member Chris Hawkins (drums) has recruited Mike Vittoria (vocals),Khalid Illahi (guitar),Rojan Banmali (guitar) and Sam Agnew (bass) for the revamped group, which plans to record a demo and start playing live in early 2011. Hawkins states, "The new guys have far exceeded my expectations!!! I'm blown away. Looking forward to playing live and recording with these characters."

Earlier this year, Chinese label Area Death Productions released "Thrashology", a two-CD set which features all demos from MIDIAN and MERCENARI (pre-MIDIAN),rare live and rehearsal recordings, and live videos. Copies of the "Thrashology" CD are still available through the band. Prices are: $10 (US, Canada),$15 (worldwide).
